Top of the morning, how are you?  It's bright, it's beautiful and I'm definitely manifesting an amazing start to this new week - can you believe we are already in Mid March. Anyone else feel like time is moving too fast, or is it just me who is struggling to keep up the pace? In today's devotion, I'd like share something that I have been learning for a while - Guarding your heart.  Proverbs 4:23-24 " Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. Keep your mouth free of perversity, keep corrupt talk from your lips ".  Passion Translation - " So above all, guard the affections of your heart, for they affect all that you are. Pay attention to the welfare of your innermost being, for from there flows the wellspring of life .  Avoid dishonest speech and pretentious words. Be free from using perverse words no matter what ". "Broken people break others" or "Hurting people hurt others"This is a statement I...

Happy New Month.                  Welcome to September 2020. Please, do me a favor. Stop whatever it is you are doing, stretch your right hand over your shoulder and pat yourself on the back☺☺☺. Done? Let out a loud shabach, jump up and down and dance as hard as you can. See, you've made it through 8 months of 2020. No matter how crazy it has been, the Lord has sure kept you and here you are heading into the last quarter of 2020.  Isn't God amazing??  Now that I have pleasantries outta the way, allow me get into this week's devotion -  Christ Like Character . This has been on my mind lately especially now that the church is entering into a very interesting season. If you are sensitive spiritually then you can tell that there is one sound coming out of the church - "Time is running out, we need to depopulate hell & populate heaven". Matthew 9:37 "Then He said to His disciples, 'The harvest is truly plentiful, but the laborer...

Happy New Month. Welcome to August. Month Number 8 - The Number of New Beginnings.  It's amazing that we have only four months left to the end of 2020 and I'm super stoked that we still have a chance to make something great & awesome out of this year that has seemingly been gloomy and has been cancelled by many - well aside from me. I still haven't cancelled 2020 and I have no plans of cancelling it.  Romans 8:28 "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose" . I believe with every fiber of my being that this year will still yield that which the Lord had purposed as we crossed over from 2019. Job, in the midst of his trials affirmed this.  Job 42:2 "I know that you can do all things; n purpose of yours can be thwarted" .  As I reflect on New Beginnings, I'm drawn to Isaiah 43:18-19 " Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I wil...

Matthew 5:16 "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven".       Growing up, any time I would have a bad/scary dream or a nightmare I would instinctively jump out of bed and flip the switch to put on the lights. I would then take a deep breath - whoosah - and somehow there was such an assurance "relax Karsh, you're safe". I kinda still do that now and it's interesting how I manage to get to the switch in a millisecond even right in the middle of very deep sleep. My mind is assured that once the lights come on, everything's good. As born again believers in a seemingly dark world where there is so much happening that is discouraging, frightening and most of all, the uncertainty that always looms, we are called to shine our lights so bright and give light to all who come into contact with us.  Matthew 5:14-15 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidd...

This week's devotion will still keep up with the theme of the Month of Love - A call to return to our First Love . Revelation 2:4-5 "Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love. Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lamp stand from its place - unless you repent. Do you remember when you first got born again? How you were so on fire for God. How you would break in God's presence and allow Him to have His way. You did not mind that the sanctuary floor was not so sparkly clean as you lay prostrate before God bonding with Him and telling Him how much you loved Him. You assured Him that He is the best thing that ever happened to you. You didn't care who was around, you just wanted more & more & more of God. You wholeheartedly answered altar calls & were not afraid to have tears stream down your face as you felt God's lovely embrace...

Welcome to February - the Month Of Love and what better way to kick off this Month's Weekly Devotions than with a call to Love - Love In Action. Speaking to the scribes, Jesus taught that the greatest commandment is Love. Matthew 22:36-40 "Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said to him, 'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind'. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets". A bit of a back story. The Pharisees & Sadducees were considered the Custodians of the Law - they had studied the Laws of Moses & were very strict enforcers of these laws. In their conversation with Jesus, they could not believe that of the various questions they were throwing at Him, Jesus gave responses which silenced them. In an attempt to corner Him, they decided to...

Hebrews 10:23 "Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful". As I always do at the beginning of every New Year, I like to take stock. Mostly I just do an audit of the goals I had written down for the previous year, I go through my Vision Board & tick off things I've accomplished and review those I'm yet to achieve and also compile my gratitude notes for the past year. This year was a bit different though - I found myself going through some promise notes from years back - as far back as 5 years ago. I looked at those promise notes which had what God had whispered during my Closet moments & others that my Spiritual Father had spoken over me. I had mixed emotions reading through them - there was a tinge of sadness mixed with gratitude. With a couple of tears rolling down my face, I whispered a Gratitude Prayer. I was grateful for what God had promised & even more grateful for the strength to keep holdin...

Welcome to Week 4 of January 2020. I'm doing my  Happy Dance  right about now. Only 11 more days and we say kwaheri to Month One of 2020. I hope you are being intentional about each and every day and being awesome at it. On to this Week's Devotion, which is practically the first in 2020 *Does Happy Dance* {Again} - Safe In The Potter's Hands. For some reason, I keep feeling like I've written about "In The Potter's Hands" before but I can't seem to find that post. Then again, I've lost count of the number of posts that get scripted in my head and never make it to the Blog. I have a teeny weeny feeling, this is one of them LOL!!!! I think it also feels very familiar cause it is one of the major lessons I learnt in 2019 - Karsh,  You Are Safe In God's Hands . Today's main text is from Jeremiah 18:1- 6 "The Word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying; 'Arise and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause you t...

Happy New Year & Happy New Decade. I'm excited!!!! It's such a joy to witness the end of one decade and the beginning of another. The excitement is also mostly fueled by the fact that I'm very conscious of what that means. Honestly speaking, when we were transiting from the 2000's to the 2010's, I was such a happy go lucky girl who did not pay much attention to what that meant. Looking back, I believe that things would've been totally different had I been intentional about that transition, but oh well! We live and we learn. That's why I refuse to be casual about the 2010's to 2020's transition. I invite you to also be very intentional especially this first month of the year as it basically sets pace for not only the rest of the year but the rest of the decade. One of the things I'm being very intentional about is speaking life into my Year/Decade. Proverbs 18:21 "Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love ...

Available & Usable in the Master's hands. I was listening to a sermon recently and the speaker said something that hit home real good and got me thinking - "It's not enough to be available, you must be usable in God's hands. 2 Timothy 2:20 "But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay, some for honor and some for dishonor. Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel of honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work.  For a long time - until recently, I've always believed that God can use anyone and anything. Picture this; God created everything and all creation is definitely at His beck and call and He can summon it to pass on His message as and when He wills. The story of Balaam and his donkey in Numbers 22 always comes to mind anytime there is a discussion of God's freedom to use anything to speak to us. I mean if a donkey can be given t...

Do you know JESUS? As I was meditating on what to share on the first Weekly Devotion, I felt I needed to start from the very basics- SALVATION. This is what our relationship with Christ is anchored on. It's not as complicated as it has unfortunately been made to look. At times I listen to people talking about salvation and all the do's/don't's and the rules involved and I'm saddened cause it has been made to look unachievable yet it's simply a relationship with God that you work on daily. Good News is - it's achievable, doable and most of all it is enjoyable. God created us to enjoy fellowship with Him not to follow some rules and regulations which mostly, have no biblical basis. I was having a conversation with a friend - who was out in the Mission's field over the weekend - talking about how the evangelism experience was and the souls that gave their lives to Christ and we found ourselves reminiscing about our own journeys to salvation. I gave my ...

Happy New Year. We're 17 days into the year or better still, 348 days till call it a wrap. I thank God for getting safely to 2019, I do not for one moment take it for granted. My year started beautifully well and as usual I do not take part in resolution making but instead I write down what I want to achieve in the year and break it down to simple every day tasks/goals I can work at. This year, I'm doing it a bit differently though and I'm excited to share - I'm putting together a Vision Board . Yes, I've never done one before so excuse the excitement. I'm having so much fun visualizing exactly what I want to achieve and putting it together. It's not yet complete but so far, so good. One of the main things I'm looking forward to doing this year is travelling - ALOT!!! I love travelling - my favorite destination is anywhere with a beautiful beach. The beach is my peaceful place; the sand in my toes and the sound of the waves give me so many good vibes. ...

This year at  BSF  we studying the People Of The Promised Land {PPL1}. It's an "exciting" study that traces the journey of the Israelites into the Promised Land after spending 40 years in the desert. I say it's "exciting" cause at times when I read how the Israelites acted, I can see myself through and through. It's like a mirror has been held up and I can see an exact reflection of my character. When the Israelites in Egypt cried out to God for deliverance, God raise Moses to lead out of bondage and into the Promised Land. God gave very specific instructions which I must say, He kept repeating over and over. The Israelites were to consecrate themselves and be holy. Leviticus 11:45 " I am the LORD who brought you up out of Egypt to be your God; therefore be holy, because I am holy ". Leviticus 20:7 " Consecrate yourselves and be holy, because I am the LORD your God" . Well, the Israelites agreed to worship the Lord God almighty o...

"I don't mind waiting, I don't mind waiting, I don't mind waiting on the Lord".  Many times I have sang this song by Juanita Bynum but the moment I'm done with that last line, I feel a tinge of betrayal. A case of the lips betraying the heart and I find myself in the situation the Israelites found themselves accused of in Isaiah 29:13 " These people come near to me with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but there hearts are far from me. Their worship of me is based on merely human rules they have been taught ".  Honest truth is that most times, this heart of mine DOES mind waiting but cause over time I have been conditioned to sit tight and wait on God as He comes through, I sort of just play along. If I was to however have it my way of course I wouldn't wait LOL. {I'm sure you also wouldn't, so don't even think of pulling that judgmental card on me} I've walked a mile in these shoes so this prayer goes out to all the...
